The CPAP/BIPAP with viral filtering is what changed a lot of outcomes in
Italy... Without viral filtering contaminated a lot of wards before
they understood that they were aerisolizing(sp?) the virus

yep, intubation is last resort. and of those 40% many will still die
from post intubation pnemonia and infection unrelated to the COVID.
Even experienced respiratory techs do a ton of laryngeal/tracheal
damage upon insertion under good conditions. Rapid Sequence Intubation
is high pressure many times under less than ideal conditions (ie coding).
Skimmed an article that theyre beginning to thing that RSI is doing
more harm than good and looking toward postitive pressure treatments
akin to CPAP/BIPAP

40% is a pretty average survival rate for intubated patients.
Great for Covid 19 from what I've read.

On today’s Pence/Birx/Fauci show I heard someone say how
wonderful it was that New Orleans was reporting 40% of
intubation patients coming off the ventilators rather than
croaking.
That’s pretty scary when a 40% survival rate is great news.
